  243. <p>BE DEMONSTRATES VIRTUALMAC<br />
  244. FOR THE BE OPERATING SYSTEM<br />
  245. New technology from fredlabs, inc. will provide a bridge for<br />
  246. customers and developers making the transition to the BeOS.</p>
  247. <p>MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, Calif (January 7, 1997) - This week at<br />
  248. Macworld Expo, Be Inc. is demonstrating, for the first time,<br />
  249. technology that allows the Be Operating System (BeOS(tm)) to run System<br />
  250. 7.x MacOS applications directly within its multitasking,<br />
  251. multiprocessor environment.</p>
  252. <p>Developed by fredlabs, inc., a software company based in San<br />
  253. Francisco, VirtualMac(tm) allows both modern BeOS applications and<br />
  254. current System 7.x applications to be active at the same time, and<br />
  255. for data to be exchanged between the systems.</p>
  256. <p>Last August, Be announced it would enhance the BeOS to provide support<br />
  257. for a wide variety of PowerPC based systems, including those based on<br />
  258. Apple's PowerMacintosh designs. The company began shipping the BeOS<br />
  259. for PowerMac development kit to software developers last month. Be has<br />
  260. committed to delivering "dual-boot" capability - the ability to run<br />
  261. both the BeOS and MacOS (or any other system) on a single machine -<br />
  262. when it delivers the first public release of the BeOS in the first<br />
  263. calendar quarter of 1997. The company has also committed to<br />
  264. delivering the ability to access Mac formatted disks within the BeOS,<br />
  265. as well as data file compatibility and Internet compatibility between<br />
  266. the two systems.</p>
  267. <p>But VirtualMac capabilities go a step further - adding the ability to<br />
  268. run System 7.x applications directly within the BeOS environment.<br />
  269. During the Expo, Be and fredlabs plan to demonstrate Microsoft Word<br />
  270. and Excel, ClarisWorks, and other applications running within the<br />
  271. VirtualMac environment.</p>
  272. <p>"We've believed that creating virtual machines, such as VirtualMac,<br />
  273. was possible on the BeOS because of the modern OS services and<br />
  274. uncluttered architecture it provides." said Jean-Louis Gassee,<br />
  275. president and CEO of Be, Inc. "What fredlabs has created, however,<br />
  276. has far surpassed our expectations, and this product will provide a<br />
  277. clear bridge for customers and developers making transitions to the<br />
  278. BeOS."</p>
  279. <p>"We've been looking at the BeOS environment for the past year, and<br />
  280. after taking a close look at the OS, we asked ourselves the question,<br />
  281. 'What type of software could we build that would really enhance the<br />
  282. BeOS for a large number of users?'" said Fred Huxham, co-founder of<br />
  283. fredlabs, inc. "VirtualMac seemed like a logical answer.</p>
  284. <p>The companies stress that VirtualMac is still under development, and<br />
  285. that a number of decisions remain to be made regarding how best to<br />
  286. integrate the System 7.x environment into the BeOS. For example,<br />
  287. whether VirtualMac appears in a window within the BeOS, or in one of<br />
  288. the BeOS's desktop workspaces, has yet to be decided. fredlabs has<br />
  289. prototyped both approaches.</p>
  290. <p>To provide the System 7.x capabilities, VirtualMac creates a set of<br />
  291. processes within the BeOS which, to MacOS applications, look like a<br />
  292. Macintosh environment. In this way, VirtualMac is simply another task<br />
  293. within the BeOS system. The implementation makes use of the MacOS ROMs<br />
  294. found in PowerMacintosh hardware designs, within PowerMac clones, and<br />
  295. within future systems based on the PowerPC Platform (PPCP or CHRP)<br />
  296. design.</p>
  297. <p>The companies stated that it will take further study to determine how<br />
  298. far the multitasking and multiprocessor capabilities inherent in the<br />
  299. BeOS can be used within the VirtualMac environment, and the limits on<br />
  300. compatibility with certain classes of System 7.x software. But early<br />
  301. results are encouraging, and one benefit is immediately apparent: If<br />
  302. the VirtualMac environment encounters problems, it can be shut down<br />
  303. and rebuilt without rebooting the BeOS system or the hardware.</p>
  304. <p>Attendees of the Macworld Expo can see the VirtualMac demonstration at<br />
  305. Be's booth in the south hall, as well as at the Power Computing booth<br />
  306. in north hall. Information is also available at Be's web site at<br />
